Yeah personally I consider it a 10/12.

Really?

I consider it a ZERO

 

[Zane_C]

3x3x3 DNF (04:31.38) - 3 edges out of place, would of been a new personal best if it was solved.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Aachen Open:

3x3BLD: DNF, DNF
4x4BLD, DNF, DNF
5x5BLD, DNS, DNS
3x3MultiBLD: DNF

3x3: The first scramble was so easy, I rushed through memo, and I had no delays while solving. I only messed up a J-perm. On the second, during memo there was a kid screaming in the venue, which made me lose my concentration, and as I never refresh during BLD, I couldn't remember my edges.

4x4: First one was okay, 2 centers and 3 edges off, I think I had switched 2 pieces in my memo... The second one had centers and corners solved, and all edges I had done yet. I forgot the last 6 edges

5x5: Didn't have time XD

Multi: Just like Erik, I was going for NR by doing 4 cubes. Memo went well, pretty easy. The first one was solved. The second one was off by a 3-cycle of edges and a D-turn (I had to shoot to FLD, then LBD, then BRD, then RFD. So I did D y-perm D y-perm D y-perm D y-perm and for some reason I did another D... The third one was off by 2 corners, I had twisted them the wrong way. The fourth one was off by a 3-cycle of edges, I had switched them around in my memo again.

So yeah, no successes for me at the Aachen Open.

Aww, so sorry to hear it Maarten. It's okay, though - you're just setting up for 100% successes at your next competition.

 

[Zava]

eeh Marten, I feel sorry for you I can totally feel with you, that is like my bld results at most of competitions
todays failure:
after István did his 9/9 NR, I decided to start practising it. todays attempt:
7/9 in 33:26 (22:32) (6th cube: 4 edges off, 8th cube: 4 corners and 4 edges off)
see Mike? my times aren't on a linear scale also I wasn't enough focused at this attempt, I should have done it 3-4 hours later when I'm totally waken up. memo went slow and not accurate (I didn't see two flipped edges during memo, but "luckily" I messed up an edge 3cycle on that cube so it doesn't really matter), and had recall delays. I think I'll have to practise with like 12-15 cubes to get ready for an official 9/9.

Truth!... almost, for me. Just check out my BLD results post US Nationals 2009.

Yeah personally I consider it a 10/12.

I consider it a ZERO

I consider your FACE a zero

I should practise MultiBLD a bit, my accuracy is horrible... But thanks

 

[Zava]

meh, just attempted a 4x4 bld
6:08.41 (3:02) dnf, 3 edges off. I messed up on the one before the last: it was an orange-green edge but I did the green-orange r2 setup..so it was off by a "4x4 last 2 edges case"
also I messed up so hard on the centers memo, edges+corners were done at like 1:20.. but o well, 4x4 bld isn't my sport, I more like the 3x3 bld events

Actually, that's still very impressive. And when you consider you were not at your best, it's particularly so. I don't know if it's true for you, but for me, a good day vs. a bad day can make a difference of almost a minute per cube.

 

[blah]

5/8 22:35

3 misplaced corners.
2 twisted corners.
2 flipped edges.

Sub-20 here I come. SpeedmultiBLD is so much more fun.

 

[Tim Major]

^^^Wow, unlucky about the 3 dnfs, but that's just too fast. if you just said the time, I would not have guessed that many cubes.

 

[Isbit]

*Sigh*
Did 2 multis with 3 cubes in a row, missed the last one both of them. The first time I forgot the last six edges, even though I thought they were really easy to remember. I sat like 3 minutes trying to remember them before giving up. At the second try I don't really know what I did wrong, a setup move maybe, but I ended up with 3 edges and 3 corners wrong. And both times were really fast (for me). 8 and 10 minutes memo respectivly, and no major recall delays except for the last edges on the first try( but a phonecall during the first try added an extra minute or so). 20:3x and 18:18 respectivly, both were faster than the Swedish record. oh, well, I'll get it next time

 

[Cuber3]

3x3, first attempt at visual memo. 2 FLIPPED EDGES!!!!!!!!!
Easy memo, though, at one point there was FU-BU-BD-FD.

 

[Zava]

8/9 in 28:04 (17:45)
on the only wrong cube I did a corner 3cycle in the wrong way.
this was fast because I did only 2 refreshes (memorised in 4-4-1 packs, memo first 4 cubes then refresh them, memo second 4 cubes and refresh only those 4 -> caused me some recall delays on the other 4 cubes) in competition I'm sure I'll do more refreshes, In competition first thing I care about is doing the attempt 100% accurate and the second is the time.

 

[Slash]

5x5 bld fail at Aachen Open.
nnnoooo!!!!!!! only 3 + centers cycled:S:S I did a 3cycle wrong. If I had done this 3cycle well, I would've been 2nd at the competition, and the second person who got a result of every 19 events.
Memo was 31 min, full solve something like 39 min.
Next time=success

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

Barghhh.
I did my first ever 4BLD *untimed*
3 centers off

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Tried to go fast again on 4 cubes multi and it worked out, except I missed the parity fix on the first cube. It's fast as hell, but not good enough for a NR:

3/4 in 17:22.03

 

[Zava]

today I was like: why not try an 5x5 bld, on vid?
so I tried. went really safe on memo and solve, I was going for a success, not a good time. ended up with 20:20, but..
before solving the wings (I go: + centers, X centers, corners, M edges, wings, memo is the same but backwards) apparently I did a l' accidentally (not sure when, because I held the cube in a strange way, it isn't visible in the vid ) so some wings, and the centers on that slice were off. if it weren't for that accidental move, it'd be still a DNF, with 3 X centers wrong.

 

[Cuber3]

First MultiBLD attempt - 2 cubes.

First cube I remembered pretty much everything except I think I had parity but didn't fix it (didn't think I had it).

Second cube I solved the first two edges, then went "WTF2L do I do now?". I had a guess then did the last bit of my memo for edges which I could remember. Then failed at the corners.

 

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

In my latest tirade of madness, I screwed up a center set up during a 4x4 BLD.
Ended with 8 centers and 4 edge*wings?* off.
My closest attempt yet. 22:42.06

Edit: Not only that, but I posted it in the accomplishment thread.Lol.
